Description:

The Pentagon Memorial is designed in a park-like setting on a 1.9-acre parcel of land located by the Pentagon's west face. There are the 184 Memorial Units, one for each of the victims. Each consists of a stainless steel bench that cantilevers over a pool of water and has five pieces of granite forming the seating surface. The Units are arranged by the victims' birth years and form age lines. Each bench has a victim's name inscribed on its end and the position of each bench indicates where the victim was at the time of the attack.

This project comprised 12 buildings totaling over 530,000 square feet and 1.4 million square feet of concrete hardstand, providing staging and deployment facilities to 4,250 troops and maintenance facilities for their tactical vehicles. A design consistent with civilian sector projects and the placement of government funds into functional or operational requirements were primary owner objectives. Completed under budget and ahead of schedule, the project was rated “Outstanding” under the Federal Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System.

University Hotel Partners was contracted as a public-private partnership to develop, design and build a 135,000-square-foot conference center and hotel facility at George Mason University's main campus. Providing a high-quality venue for campus and community events, The Mason Inn consists of a 20,000-square-foot technologically advanced conference area integrated with a 149-room hotel. It includes a restaurant, lounge, kitchen, ballroom, junior ballroom, 10 meeting rooms and a full-service laundry. The scope included an additional 35,000 square feet of underground parking and related site work, including a new campus entrance road.
